Hello everyone, welcome to Theory Thursday! This is a community led project, the point of these posts is to read about 30 minutes of theory every Thursday. Then we discuss with fellow comrades the contents of the reading. This week we’re voting on what to read next.

Go ahead and post your reading suggestions in the comments. Tomorrow I’ll post the results, highest upvoted comment will be our next reading. See you tomorrow comrades!
Comrade roux suggested last time to read Wage Labor & Capital it was tied for first so I thought I’d put it up again.
Everytime I get called “comrade” on here it gives me warm fuzzies lol.
Don’t pick it just for me though. I actually tried to get involved in both this reading group and the matrix server one and realized I don’t really have much time to devote besides probably reading y’all’s commentary. I’m mostly gonna probably have to read at my own pace.
I’m glad that made you happy. :) No worries about not being able to participate, life gets busy, I completely understand!
I will still plug Wage Labor as I think it’s a really good one for new theory readers. The first 2-3 chapters do a great job of explaining what our wages actually are so it gets you thinking more in that mindset. The last part gets a bit dense iirc. Even if it never makes it into y’all’s curriculum, I would still suggest reading it. I think it’s one of the more important pieces that I’ve read.
